John Stamos’s Heartwarming Remembrance
John Stamos, the Full House alum shared a sweet story about Matthew Perry from the set of Friends. After a few days of the tragic death, Stamos gave his tribute to Perry in an Instagram post.
“Matthew and I had been friendly long before Friends. So, when I guest starred as Zach, the prospective sperm donor for Chandler and Monica, I hung with him a lot,” Stamos recalled.
“Standing backstage, ready to make my entrance, Matt whispers, ‘The audience is going [to] go crazy when they see you! Get ready for some loud screams.’ I walk through the door … silence. I was so embarrassed.”
He continued:
“We finish the scene and as I start to slither back to my dressing room and quit showbiz, Matt walks over to the studio audience: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for John Stamos! You guys probably didn’t recognise him at first because [he’s] so much better looking in person!’“
He added: “I never forgot that and the world will never forget you.”
